The cultural view of Thang Long culture from Tran Thu Hang’s novel named Dan day

Abstract

The novel Dan day is not only the mundane life with the word love and heart but also the unique cultural view of the Thang Long culture of the Le - Trinh dynasties. Firstly, it is the art of Ca tru, reproduced with talented people of the Bach family in Co Tam ward, Thang Long citadel. Secondly, it is the culture of behaviour, the character of the people of the Le - Trinh dynasties, as well as the respect, courtesy, gentleness, and elegance through their gait and posture; through the lyrics and the hearts of the people are always passionate with a singing career. Thirdly, it is the culture in the costumes of the Vietnamese at that time, especially the clothes of the geisha. The article uses the interdisciplinary research (cultural and literature approaches) to point out three Thang Long’s cultural imprints, thereby contributing to affirming the unique quality of this novel not to be mixed with any historical novel by Tran Thu Hang in particular and with other historical novels about the Le - Trinh dynasties in general.
